Wait till they can eat hard food well which is about 6 to eight weeks
Answer:
Six weeks is far too early to take a kitten away. The best time is when the kittens are ten to twelve weeks old. Eight weeks at the very earliest.
Sadly, too many kittens are taken away from their mothers too early, usually around six to eight weeks old (some kittens aren't even weaned properly at that age). They have had no chance to learn what behaviour is good or bad, and behavioral problems will become apparent as the kitten gets older which, often, are difficult to correct.
Kittens six to eight weeks old have not learned any important socialisation or behaviour skills yet, which kittens learn from eight weeks onwards. During this time kittens will learn how to play and interact with their littermates, mother and any other animals and humans in the house.
They will learn what behaviour is acceptable and what is not from their mother, and will learn how to play and share with their littermates. They will also learn about grooming and litterbox use at this crucial time. Most kittens are well socialised by the time they are twelve weeks old, and are very likely to grow into very gentle and affectionate pets.

Do newborn kittens come in their own placenta sack?
Yes they do. Sometimes these sacs bursts while the kitten is in the birth canal, sometimes they don't. The mother cat should make sure the kitten is safely out of the sac once it is born, if she does not you should do this, if not, the kitten will not be able to breathe! If the sac bursts before the kitten is born, the mother should pass it soon. Sometimes female cats eat the placenta, don't be alarmed if you do not find any, this is what is likely to have happened.
